in reply to perl for TiVo?

I don't see anything that would preclude you from doing it. You might be able to find a precompiled perl for Linux/PowerPC, but I guess it will be easier to just cross-compile it. They don't mention on the page whether the toolchain is for the PowerPC platform (ie., meant to be run on the TiVo) or for e.g. i386 or PowerPC workstations so you can cross-compile for the TiVo. Take a look at it. Maybe it could even be possible to compile perl on the TiVo itself? :)
